We had previously stayed in one of the local hotels and were quite disappointed and decided that the second trip would be better. Our choice this time was Wailele Nalo and it did not disappoint. The house was wonderful, the location was wonderful, the furnishings were wonderful, and in fact I could not think of a single thing that would have improved our experience.

The drive up to the house is very nice and the whole area feels very private.

The house is nicely laid out and the furniture is nice but functional. The kitchen contained everything we needed to cook when we felt like eating in and the bed in the master BR was very comfortable.

The cleaning service did a great job and the whole house was very clean.

The back lanai is quite spectacular, overlooking the falls (the sound of the falls put us right to sleep at night) and appointed with comfortable patio furniture and gas grill.

We stayed here for 5 nights, the home is built on a high block over looking a stream with large trees across the other side on the bank. If you want a relaxing, restful setting, this is it.The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large open plan lounge/dining and a good sized kitchen, everything is here. The verandah runs the full length of the home, so plenty of room to sit and listen to the running stream. There is an out door setting which was very comfortable. Our only wish was we would have liked to stay longer but didn't have the time.Great place to stay.

This is a great place to stay in Hilo. Locatet on Reed's Island, 1 milde from downtown you are away from everything but in the centre fast. As we had no car it was great to have everything in walking distance. The house is locatet in a very quite area with very nice views to awesome Vegetation, River, waterfall. The house is very clean, very nice interieur, great lanai. We had a great stay!
